I have a 2005 ion 2, and for some reason, the key keeps getting stuck in the ignition for no reason. I am not a blond, and I know that sometime the steering wheel needs to be in the right positon, and the car needs to be in park. Anyone else have this problem??

I'm a blond and I did the wasn't in park thing before. My only suggestion would be to use the spare key they gave you. Perhaps there is something wrong with the key itself. Does your instrument panel light up and beep when it wont come out? Passlock system problem perhaps. If you are still under 30 days and 1,500 miles you might want to exchange it to save the hassle of counting on the dealership to fix the problem for you.

i noticed that too, but it only happens rarely. when it happens i can't turn the key or remove it. i found that it i move the wheel in either direction while attempting to move the key it will unstick after 2-3 tries.

This sounds like I'm being a smart*** but its an honest question.

Is there a cup in the cupholder? We noticed that a larg mug or Big Gulp with stop the auto shifter from going all the wat forward and not release the key.

Check it out.

Already had mine car service for this exact problem... it was the shift linkage. It went forward into the Park position but not far enough to disengage the key.

Check the manual it discusses how to remove a little panel under the ignition where you can push a button to remove the key. If that seems to be your issue get it serviced. Mine was in and out in 30 minutes and has never happened again.
